Nikki, 47, told The Daily Star Jonathan showed his first symptoms a month ago and said that he suffered a cough and high temperature and was left unable to move by the virus.
She added that he lay down on the sofa and didn’t move for two weeks, and at times he struggled to breathe.
Nikki continued: ‘We tended to him as best we could, but at times he seemed unable to breathe. Having spoken to the doctors, they urged us to stay home, but they said to quickly get an oxygen monitor, which fixed to his finger.’

She added that the rest of the family have also been infected by the virus, and Jonathan was watched by his daughter Amy when the virus reached its worst point.
Nikki said: ‘I tried to keep calm, asking him all the time if he could breathe. I felt that I couldn’t think straight because I was so unwell myself at the time too. Amy was crying.
‘But I kept vigil through the night and monitored his oxygen levels and luckily, with the help of 111 [NHS helpline], we got through to the next day.’
A spokesperson for the Tappers told MailOnline: ‘I can confirm that the Tapper family all contracted Covid-19. We are really pleased to say the family are better – Jonathan is at the very end of his recovery and is now taking it easy.’
